Chapter 17: Outwitting Xuzhou
Feng Biao couldn't help but be discouraged when he saw that he had lost two battles in a row, and Da Kui said: "There is a third formation, continue to compete." "Don't you know that Da Kui is bluffing, since he joined the army, he has rarely practiced bows and arrows. If it is true, it may not be Feng Biao's opponent. Unexpectedly, Feng Biao said: "No, I will lose in your hands." "Actually, it's not that Feng Biao's martial arts are not proficient, Da Kui practiced every day when he was in Bozhou, and he was very proficient in his steps. Besides, Da Kui is as light as a swallow and comes and goes like the wind, how can Feng Biao beat him?
At this time, a flock of birds flew in the sky, and Da Kui took the stone and shook his hand again and again. Three stones came out with a strong wind, and three birds were knocked down with three bangs, and the bandits were moved for a while. This is Yang Yonghuai before leaving to tell Da Kui: "If you want to convince these bandits, you must use some skills to suppress them." Da Kui did as he said, and sure enough, he suppressed the bandits.
Da Kui didn't say anything, just looked at Feng Biao with a smile. Feng Biao knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "I, Feng Biao, will immediately lift the village down the mountain, and I am willing to go to the soup for General Zhang with a whip in the future." As soon as the bandits saw that the owner of the village had descended, they all knelt down on one knee to express their submission. Da Kui asked: "Why don't you see anyone in the second village?" Feng Biao sighed and said: "Hey, I learned that General Zhang is brave and invincible, and the second village master knows that I am not an opponent and will go down the mountain with General Zhang." He took a few of his henchmen down the mountain and left. ”
Da Kui asked again: "Where is the girl who was robbed from Suzhou City?" Feng Biao said: "It was the idea of the second village master to snatch that woman up the mountain, and the woman committed suicide that night after being humiliated. Da Kui said angrily: "When did you go to the second village, and in what direction?" Feng Kui said: "I've been walking for half an hour, but I don't know where I went." Da Kui said angrily: "Get up, clean up and follow me down the mountain." "Da Kuiqi's seven orifices are smoking, but it's a pity that Liu Yishui got away.
Feng Biao immediately told the bandits to go back to their residence and pack their things. Four thousand bandits followed Da Kui down the mountain, carrying bags and boxes to lead horses and donkeys, and it was not lively for a while. It was already evening when I returned to Suzhou City, and it was rumored that the new army would arrange a residence for the bandits in Fenglin Village.
There was no word for a night, until the early morning of the second day, when the soldiers came to report that someone was coming from Bozhou, and Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai hurriedly greeted them. It was Mao Gui and several civil officials who came, and as soon as Da Kui met, he said: "I want to go to Xuzhou, but there is no one to defend this Suzhou." Well, now someone is watching the door. Hahaha. "Mao Gui and the civil officials couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat: 'We're coming to see the door?'
Since taking Suzhou, it has either surrendered or recruited, and the Suzhou Red Turban Army has jumped to more than 100,000. Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai invited Mao Gui and the other six people to enter the left-behind mansion to discuss how to seize Xuzhou.
At the end of February 1356, Yang Yonghuai, the deputy general of Zhang Dakui, the general of the Great Song Dynasty, led 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Red Turban in Suzhou to take Xuzhou. Suzhou was handed over to Mao Gui and a cadre of civil officials to stay behind.
When the troops came to the city of Xuzhou again, the Xuzhou garrison Gullit was in a panic.
I heard that the Suzhou rescue soldiers and horses were ambushed by the Red Turban Army on the way they came, and 50,000 soldiers and horses were lost, and the main general Baguer was killed in battle. The Red Turban Army took advantage of the situation to take Suzhou, and now it has come to take Xuzhou. That's how it is. In the Xuzhou garrison, Gulite was in a hurry, and the people sent to most of the capital for help have not returned for a long time, and there are no reinforcements around.
Da Kui and Yang Yonghuai once again stationed troops under the city of Xuzhou, and ordered people to rush to build siege equipment day and night, preparing to attack the city in the future. Xuzhou garrison Gulit heard the news and was even more restless. 'The Red Turban bandits are about to attack the city in the near future, and once the city is broken, how will my life be saved?' ’
In the midst of sorrow, a fragrant wind blew, and a Qianqianyu hand was on his shoulder. A soft and penetrating voice behind him whispered, "Master, why are you worried?" "This is Gullit's favorite concubine 'Xiang'er', who was the most famous Oiran in Xuzhou Goolan, and the love lingered in the past, but today Gullitt is not half interested. Gullit turned around and hugged Xiang'er's slender waist and coaxed: "Aren't I worried about the defense of Xuzhou, you go back to the room first." I'd better calm down and think about it. ”
Xiang'er pouted her cherry lips and turned around and walked away angrily. Gullit sighed and continued to circle around the room, when a report came from outside the door: "General, most of the 20,000 reinforcements have arrived at the north gate of Xuzhou." When Gullitt heard this, he was overjoyed: "Hurry up and prepare the horse, and General Ben will personally go to meet him." ”
The suspension bridge at the north gate of Xuzhou fell, and Gullit personally led the generals and a thousand soldiers to go out to greet him. From a distance, I saw the Yuan soldiers of the two phalanxes waving their banners and waiting in formation, in front of the formation were more than 2,000 cavalry, and the leader was a general of the Yuan army with a white horse and golden sword. This general is dressed in armor and has a hat on his head, and there is a fox fur on each side of the hat swaying in the wind, and at this time the general looks up at the sky with a proud look.
Gullit thought to himself, 'Well, most of them have come to this virtue.' I couldn't help believing it in my heart, but I was still afraid of fraud, so I called a Wu Chang next to me and said, "Go over and have a look." The commander took the order and rode his horse to the reinforcement camp. When the commander arrived at the reinforcement array, he chatted with the general with the troops, and then rode towards the city gate. They talked happily all the way, and Gullitt couldn't help but be curious when he saw it, and he couldn't hear what they were talking about from a long distance.
But in addition to the commander of the army, there was only one general who led the troops, and Gullit did not doubt him.
Gradually, the two of them got closer, and the general who Gullit looked at carefully turned out to be a fierce face. The thick eyebrows are in the sideburns, the eyes are like bells, the nose of rosacea is big, and the eyes are full of fierce light. When he got closer, Gullit didn't dare to slack off, and asked with a smile on his face: "Dare to ask what the general is called?" "My name is Feng Biao, and I am from Suzhou. The words fell, and before Gullitt could react, Feng Biao slashed the nine-ring golden knife in his hand with a strong wind. 'Ah' screamed, and the captain next to him turned over and fell off his horse.
At the same time, there was a shout of killing in the distance behind him, and the two thousand cavalrymen who had been standing still rushed forward, and the sound of hooves shook the earth as if they were trembling, and the 20,000 foot soldiers behind the cavalry then covered up. Gulit had already turned his horse's head and hissed when Feng Biao made his move, shouting: "Stop him quickly", and the five or six generals around him responded to the nook and the horses carried weapons to meet Feng Biao. Feng Biao didn't wait for the Yuan general to surround him, so he rode his horse forward, and chased after Gulit. Originally, the distance between the two was not far, Gullit was a horse that had fallen off and then rode the horse, while Feng Biao rushed forward directly.
Without waiting for Gulit to get into the crowd, Feng Biao had chased after Gullit in an instant, and his hand raised his knife and fell, "Poof", "Ah", Gullit screamed, and was split into two pieces by adding a shoulder strap and back.
The Yuan soldiers in front of the city gate saw that the main general was dead, threw down their banners and weapons, turned around and fled to the city. Feng Biao is also not polite, he kills people when he sees them, and he cuts them when he sees them. Chased to the drawbridge, slashed the sling and went straight to the city gate, at this time the cavalry behind him had arrived, and rushed across the drawbridge with a gust of wind to occupy the city gate.
